DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
What are digital electronics?Sound is an analog signal.On a CD, digital sound is encoded
as 44.1 kHz, 16 bit audio. The original wave is 'sliced' 44,100
times a second - and an average amplitude level is applied to each sample.
16 bit means that a total of 65,536 different values can be assigned, or quantized to each sample.
DVD-Audio can be 96 or 192 kHz and up to 24 bits resolution
George BooleGeorge Boole, a British mathematician (1815-1864).
Logic and math are equivalent.All math functions can be determined using these 3
primary Boolean logic operators: AND, OR, and NOT. AND narrows your search, OR broadens your search, and NOT is used to exclude concepts.
Have you used Boolean logic?What information have you searched for on the Web?Do a Google Search for car radios.
The OR operator (either, any)
fruit OR vegetables
fruit OR vegetables OR cereal
from CSIRO Australia
Let’s use Boolean logic to examine class.Please stand up if you are:
girlAND black hairAND left handed
Please stand up if you are:girlOR black hairOR left handed
And NOTHow has the group changed depending on the logical
operator used.
What would a library search give for “stress” and “anxiety”?
Shaded areas indicate retrieval
Search Statement Types of records retrievedNumber of records retrieved
stress OR anxietyDocuments that discuss
either stress or anxiety1127
stress AND anxietyDocuments that discuss
both stress and anxiety51
stress NOT anxietyDocuments that discuss
stress but not anxiety687
NestingWhen more than one element is in parentheses, the sequence is left to
right. This is called "nesting." (foxes OR rabbits) AND pest control foxes OR rabbits AND pest control (animal pests OR pest animals) NOT rabbits
Parentheses should be used to group terms joined by OR when there is any other operator in the search.
Order of precedence of Boolean operatorsThe order of operations is: AND, NOT, OR, XOR Parentheses are used to override priority. Expressions in parentheses are processed first. Parentheses are used to organize the sequence and
groups of concepts.
Basis for digital computers.
The true-false nature of Boolean logic makes it compatible with binary logic used in digital computers.
Electronic circuits can produce Boolean logic operations.
Circuits are called gates. NOT AND OR
NOT gate The simplest possible gate is called an "inverter," or a NOT gate. One bit as input produces its opposite as output. The symbol for a NOT gate in circuit diagrams is shown below. The logic table for the NOT gate shows input and output.
A Q
0 1
1 0
From How Stuff Works
AND gate The AND gate has the following symbol and logic
table. Two or more input bits produce one output bit. Both inputs must be true (1) for the output to be
true. Otherwise the output is false (0).
A B Q
0 0 0
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 1
OR gate The OR gate has the following symbol and logic table. Two or more input bits produce one output bit. Either inputs must be true (1) for the output to be true.

Combine gates.Gates can be combined.The output of one gate can become the input of another. Try to determine the logic table for this circuit.
